London-born, LA-based, prolific indie producer Stephen Israel may still be known best for "Swimming With Sharks" - one of the most damning commentaries on the "me too" workplace, which (ironically) launched the film career of Kevin Spacey. Sharks has subsequently been produced for the London stage starring Christian Slater, before going on to Mexico City, Paris, and Tokyo among others, and was recently revived as a limited series, starring Dianne Kruger, Kiernan Shipka and Donald Sutherland, which premiered on Roku.
Stephen's numerous other credits include some of the best-loved gay films - such as 2007's "Boy Culture", "GBF" (2014) and 2016 Outfest audience award winner - "Miles", starring Independent Spirit Award-winner (and Superstar!) Molly Shannon - and two-time Independent Spirit award nominee "Swan Song" (2021) featuring a career-defining performance by the legendary Udo Kier. "Studio One Forever" - about the legendary LA gay disco that was the prototype for Studio 54 - is currently winning awards at festivals around the world.
Stephen's recent productions - the political thriller "Affairs of State", starring the breakout star, David Corenswet (soon to be Superman), along with Adrian Grenier, Mimi Rogers and Thora Birch, and "Last Moment of Clarity", starring Samara Weaving and Golden Globe-winner Brian Cox - are both distributed by Lionsgate, as is 2021's "The Gateway", starring Shea Whigham, Olivia Munn, Frank Grillo and the legendary Bruce Dern. "Last Night on Earth" - directed by Sundance alum Marcos Efron - will premier in Spring 2024 at the USA FIlm Festival, Dallas and will be theatrically released in May 2024.
As an innovator, Stephen was part of the team that produced "The Spot" - the world's first episodic series on the internet, in 1995. A little ahead of its time, he was the first to identify the concept of a network of episodic shows delivered via the web - which ultimately became 1995 tech startup American Cybercast, at which he served as SVP Development & Acquisitions.
With broad corporate experience at Warner Bros., Turner Broadcasting, and top management consulting firm Booz.Allen & Hamilton, Stephen adds seasoned management & financial expertise to hands-on production in film.
Stephen is also a trained rocket scientist and a Royal Air Force marksman (seriously).- Producer
